Another object of my invention is to provide a circuit arrangement for piezoelectric crystal controlled transmittercircuits' in which a, plurality of predetermlned frequencies are sustainedi by" a 'piezo electric crystal element and simultaneously transmitted.

Another object of'jm'y invention is to pro vide a transmission system' n which a high frequency piezo electric crystal controlled oscillator is arranged to excite a power am-- plifier or frequency multiplier in such, manner that more than one frequency may be derived each related to the frequency of the piezo electric crystal element for the simultaneous transmission of signals at the plurality'of'separate frequencies.
